    We were a small group of 3 Ladies dining in the restaurant last evening. We were greeted and taken to our table promptly. Our server was very pleasant throughout our dining experience. The menu had varied choices to meet our dining pleasure. All in all it was a great experience with great food. Thank you for making our dining experience pleasurable and one to remember.

    We were delighted with our dinner on Thursday night. Three of us had seafood chowder and everyone was very happy with it. Afterwards they had Ceasar salad and my friend was thrilled with the big pieces of Parmesan on the salad. I had the salmon which was melt in your mouth with lovely crispy vegetables on the side. The salmon was thankfully not farmed but Ocean "Safe" or fresh. I am not sure what kind it was but delicious. My desert was creme brulle and the best ever. The service was impeccable by a lovely young lady. We look forward to returning.

    Relaxing, nice ambiance, good service (Katt K), great menu. Sadly today a large yacht was docked in front of the windows, so no view of the harbour! And thankfully and refreshingly the staff on entry didn’t proclaim time limits!
    Boom + BattenResponded on October 28, 2026
    Hello James, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the relaxed ambience, menu and attentive service from Katt. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to her. While we’re fortunate to have our beautiful location along Victoria’s Inner Harbour, yachts occasionally obstruct the view, and we appreciate your understanding. We’re also glad you felt comfortable settling in without time pressures. Thank you for choosing Boom + Batten. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

    We like Boom N Batten however your prices are getting way too high for us to come as often as we use to. Secondly the beer l had certainly didn’t look like the size of 16oz and l questioned the size with the waitress and she said it was however l doubt it. Food is excellent in taste and the bowls also getting smaller. It will be awhile before we come back.
